Things are a tad stressful family wise. My 90 year old Grandmother fell & broke her rib & busted a vertebrae in her back. She started developing severe dementia as well. Getting confused & not cooperating AT ALL with anyone. =/ Heartbreaking really. She is such a damn go getter & now they are talking about putting her in a nursing home. Not good. She despises those places with all of her being. Two of her sisters & 2 of her brothers were in one & she vowed never to enter one.
My Mom has pretty much been living with her for a month. She just can't do it anymore. She has heart problems & her blood pressure has been through the roof. My Aunt decided she didn't want any of the burden & she has been taking care of her Great-Grandson non-stop. My Mom is the only one that I have to watch Josiah. I have had no break for months now. I had to take him with me to the doctor to get my allergy shot. I'm so allergic to everything they were afraid that I would have a reaction they wanted to watch me. Wouldn't that have been a mess if I DID have a reaction?????? =/ Which, when I got home my throat was starting to swell, but went down.
Anyway. It's kind of stressful & strange around here. Whenever everyone is under a lot of stress, I feel it. Sounds retarded, but I just can't stand for people to be under pressure. I try to take as much on as myself, but there's nothing I can do in this situation. Just pray I guess. I really feel for my Mom. Never though I'd say those words.
Ho hum.
